Seth Godin just posted a neat little write up (includes a screenshot) explaining why you want to Rediscover the Web using Mozilla’s Firefox browser (it’s both Mac and Windows compatible). It has a nifty feature that “sniffs out” whether a given Web page is RSS-enabled. When you’re…

read more“Getting” RSS… and why good writing still matters

I couldn’t make it because I was attending Blog Business Summit 2005 in Seattle (an excellent event). But it sounds from attendee write-ups as if the New Communications Forum 2005 in Napa, CA Jan. 26 – 27 was also very useful. (Wish they’d kill that awful music that…

Are you an A+ blog reader… but a C+ blogger?
Not to worry. ActiveWords CEO Buzz Bruggeman says (without apology) this is the “grade” that A-list blogger Doc Searls gives him. BUT Bruggeman, who runs a 5-person company, has managed to get major media exposure (and thousands of trial downloads of his product) through his blogging efforts.…
